I have a hoover convertible u 4123 for sale almost new looking 100% original came from an estate sale used upstairs very little no one ever went up there.for sale $100 plus shipping or might consider trade let me know what you have.

I would purchase a "USED" Hoover convertible to put with my collection of 99% mostly purchased brand new by me back when they were being sold . If I want to buy a convertible today I buy NOS off of eBay like the last one i just bought for $300.00 off eBay U4421 .

I made a bet with a friend that said try and purchase this convertible and watch what happens .
I said to my friend nonsense nothing will happen I'll buy this Hoover and donate it to our local
Salvation Army . I told my friend I'll bet you $100.00 the sale will go through . Well my friend was
right and I lost $100.00 the friend is donating it to a local charity .

The friend then said watch someone chime in like they got over on you and they were happy again I said no way that will never happen heck they even brag all the time how they are so perfect and they couldn't possibly be acting like a child . Well it happened again I lost another $100.00 but that also will
be going to charity.

To think this would actually happen most would think oh no like I did . I was thinking no these are good people they couldn't possibly do something like that . I always look for the good in everyone but the god can't be in all . Very sad adults are acting childish and think it's so fun to get over on another.
That's where my good friend Karma comes in .

As far as games, I never play them. It just might seem odd for anyone to go out of one's way to get a cleaner, for a rather large sum, only to donate it to a place that would sell it for, maybe $25.00. Any historical value would be lot at a thrift store.
I've known of people who say, "You MUST sell me that machine". Or, You "WILL" sell it to me. That doesn't always work out well.
Some also might get others to purchase a cleaner for someone else. a 3rd party, if you will. People have bought things for me when my Ebay Paypal account was compromised with mt computer. That was totally legit, however.
We'll talk soon, Kenny

I rarely iron. I know many still do, and thats all well and good.
My ex used to iron his hair.
I must have been blind. Like 26 going on 13. Four years my senior.
I guess I was "biggly" blinded because he was also a game player. He also bragged about being great at things, even if they weren't great.

The collecting community is fairly small especially when people are local. Shane lives about 45 minutes from me. As I understand it the convertible was never promised to Dan. Dan was using Shane’s old email address. I'm not sure about donating the convertible to a thrift store. To the average buyer the convertible wouldn't be worth that much.

Happens is first to respond they had interest should at least get a chance to purchase said item .
It is not the interested buyers fault the seller had an old email address.

Ken you may NOT be sure I'd donate it well I most certainly would as used vacuums from strangers have no place in my collection. Call it snobby or what ever it's MY collection and MY hard earned money
and only I have say with MY collection.

I can just imagine what went on as soon as my haters noticed my interest in this Hoover it was an experiment / bet and I thought better of fellow collectors and turned out I was wrong .

You bought a 35 convertible from me off of eBay and I'm a stranger! As I said the collecting community is small. Most of us know who did what to whom. And rumor has it you were buying for a vac shop owner who no longer is allowed to post on this site. I don't even have the dang thing anymore. After all it's just a vacuum.

A friend and I are going to do a "day trip" to
Atlantic City. It's only about 2.5 hours from us. He wants to just see the place once again before they renovate it. I don't gamble, but, have been there a few times on trips. I'm sure the cleaners are gone. I doubt there were any Hoovers there to begin with. I'm sure I won't be 'coming home with any treasures'. I just like to go through places like this, before the transformation takes place. It'll be fun to be back in Atlantic City. I used to spend a lot of time there, as, I taught not too far from there. I've seen the stuff people are dragging out of there.
Anyone want me to grab an iron for them?
lol :)

Dan Dan drama Dan if anyone has an issue tell it to this man! Seems like someone pulled the Tamp out a little early! Let's be honest it was pretty calm and quiet without you here! Did Kristov not make you lunch at noon? Talk about karma darling, you will soon learn what it is all about. You claim to be prim and proper but I see a little boy who didn't get the paddle often.
When I think of you I think of the saying "a fool and his money will soon part ways." Who in their right mind would spend $60 plus shipping on an item just to donate it? If that is something that you would do than you must be a fool. As far as the "other" member goes when said other past member does not get what he wants he gets angry and it seems as if that has rubbed off on to you, or you could just naturally be like him. By looking at the post it seems as if another member had gotten to it before you while you were clearly in the midst of using the wrong email address. Did I strike a nerve? Sorry I tend to do that once in a while. Where did you disappear too The fabulous yacht? I have missed your snarkyness and now that it is back I am able to bask in your words of wisdom, It has been so long that I didn't think I would be able to go on! Yet I am now whole once again!

I have only been to Atlantic City once, in 1985. My ex wanted to go. I lost $130 and have not gambled since. That was a day's gross pay for me in those days.
I did like the boardwalk, and the ehem, "buffet" at Caesers Palace.
From there we drove up to NY for a few days. I parked my Grand Prix in front of the River hotel at West and Christopher street, and we didn't need the car once.

I don't know if it's so much karma, or a double standard of wanting things both ways. A deal needs to work for both the buyer and seller. Neither gets all it would like to. Life is that way too often. Compromise. A double edged knife cuts both ways, or one hand washes the other.
Example: A conservative desires tax cuts, and also cuts to medicaid, medicare, social security, schools, etc. They also want and expanded defense budget, but at whose expense?
OK, so once medicaid is cut at the federal level, states will have to raise taxes to compensate and cover poor people. No one is refused treatment and most emergency rooms. Pick our poisons, and no, nada is ever free.
Conservative politicians also spend the social collective tax dollars as they see fit. All funds come from us, the public. It's all socialistic.
The people need very good paying incomes in order to share the tax burden so the rich won't have to pay more taxes. Lord knows there aren't enough rich to do it anyhow. My parents didn't need a reverse mortgage so they could retire.
One thing I've never been is brainwashed, or a hypocrite.
Some say the markets were lousy the past 8 years? So why were they in the toilet yesterday? The markets did way more recovering over the past 8 years than crashing, like from 2005 through 2009.

What's going to happen??
Atlantic City USED to be so nice when I was a child. We'd go to Haddon Hall (now Resorts International), go to the beach, etc.

I was a judge for The Miss Pennsylvania Pageant (of The Miss America System), and was invited to the pageant in A.C. It was fun.
I live 6 miles from a casino (I NEVER go in). Sometimes, friends will come to visit and ask to go there. I'll go there (we'll usually have dinner) that's about all.
As far as KARMA...............
My sister gave me coasters and napkins that read, "Dear KARMA, I've made a list of names you forgot".

As far as vacuums, we collect what we collect... some like the same, some not. WE get these cleaners various ways. Some buy new, some buy old, some trade, some ..... well, who knows?

and it's not only Atlantic city. It's the oldest sections of Baltimore also, Detroit, even Homewood in Pittsburgh, etc.
Chicago has problems and is larger than all those, but has made more overall progress with urban renewal since the 90's.
Many blame a certain demographic group. A kay kay kay rally the other day showed why they can't also wear dread locks, claiming hate is wrong toward them.
My response was, no one should wear locks, who has the keys?
I worked well inside the city limits back in the 80's, and as polarized as Detroit was then, racial tensions were no way as they are today as in other cities.
We were all just trying to work and survive. That was before the good paying blue, grey, and even many white collar jobs left.
The Treyvon Martin/George Zimmerman case seemed to spark more of it, and the Michael Brown case in Ferguson Mo. After president Obama was elected, there was also a new onslaught of anti african american hate. Calling them monkey and moochelle, etc.
I reported a hospital janitor when I was a volunteer for saying it. He was terminated. He said it in front of a black woman at my coffee bar.
I don't care what anyone thinks, but keep it to them selves. I'm not perfect, they aren't perfect, no one is, but why be part of the problem? That goes for all, if the shoe fits, in both camps.
Suppose I had been born black? I wonder what my disposition would be if I had been told I was less than others, without the proper mentoring to know that others can not keep me down?
Who failed whom? The parents, the schools, govt.? All of the above?
Oh well, nothing you nor I can much do. I hope we don't end up being a police state.
I remember a Saturday Night Live skit back in the late 70's or early 80's.
It was funny then, but not now, for some. Gavin Merritt sang, I'm gonna git me a gun and shoot all the whitey's I see.
